Pennsylvania State University, you may have heard of it recently. The sole reason why I couldn’t watch TV or go on the internet or listen to the radio or go out in public for the last week. That damn sasquatch! Now this is my turn to annoy people who thought they forgot about it. To be serious, what happened with Sandusky and those children is absolutely terrible. Last night [Sunday] he had his first interview and it is obvious that he is just sick in the brain. There is no innocence in “horsing around” naked in showers with little boys.
But regarding the weekend, I am happy to report that if for some reason I had no idea what was going on with the scandal, I would not have been able to tell that something this big was going on. There were some “We love you Joe Pa” signs, but besides that, no nonsense at all. Just regular, crazy old Penn State, as seen from elevator picture above.
As I heard a fellow visitor say, “This can’t be a real college, can it?” State College, Pennsylvania is one giant playground where everyone is on the same page. That page is entitled “We Are Going To Have Fun Every Single Second of Every Day, And If You’re Not, Go Away.”
When Osama Bin Laden died, here at Drexel, I gave a little hoot and a fist pump. I heard one idiot running down the street yelling and that was about it. Not at state, no sir. They do it big there. The 3 and a half hour drive there from Philly is just a necessary buffer to prepare oneself for what’s about to transpire in the upcoming hours.
For a visitor, Penn State is like heaven on earth, but unfortunately for them, this scandal is most likely going to tarnish the name for decades to come. So hey, stay strong Penn State, lawd knows you need to.
